It has to happen sometimes, right? Yes, this year’s Lamy AL-Star Petrol and Lilac Limited Editions will be better than the upcoming Lamy Safari Limited Editions. I’m happy taking the loss when the pens are this good. I have one LAMY AL-Star Petrol with an Extra Fine nib to give away this week, so read the rules below and enter away!
Thank You Baltimore!
It’s casual Monday today, as I recalibrate from my first pen show of the year. Baltimore was a great one, and I’ll have plenty more to say in the coming week. My quick recap and photo dump has been sent to PA Members, Kimberly will have her show recap on the blog this Friday, and I’ll be talking more on all the socials this week. Have a great one!
